<title>Unearthing North Country Legend Jane McCrea</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/8342/20061124/unearthing-north-country-legend-jane-mccrea</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 24, 2006) The December issue of Adirondack Life magazine tells the story of Jane McCrea, a young Scottish woman who lived in Fort Edwards in the 1770s.   While waiting to meet her fiance, McCrea was murdered and scalped by native soldiers loyal to the British. Her death sparked outrage in the American colonies and served as a major catalyst for the Revolutionary War.  In the centuries since, McCrea has become a part of North Country legend. The Adirondack Life article was written by David Starbuck, who lives in Chestertown. Starbuck teaches anthropology at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire and led the scientific team that is working to reconstruct details of McCrea&apos;s life. He told Brian Mann that Jane McCrea&apos;s story is tangled up in his own family&apos;s history.
